Tobias POV
After seven rounds of the game Zeke finally gets to me. I take a sip feeling a little hazy. I give it to him and wait for him to say something.
"Alright Four Candor or Dauntless"
"Dauntless" Everyone cheers.
"I dare you to head over to the train station and walk along the tracks till the first train passes by" this is a piece of cake.
Step Up Divergent
We laugh as we walk towards the train station. Stumbling on one another. I look around for Tris. She walks apart from the group. I guess it's also because she's sober. I walk or stumble over to her.
"Hey there" she smiles. "You guys are so irresponsible...someone's gotta take care of you guys"
"Psh...we'll be fine...we're dauntless"
"Right and if it weren't for me those would be your last words" I shake my head.
We reach the train tracks. I feel the view swaying. Ugh my head is going to kill me in the morning.
"Alright..." Zeke gets on his knees and places his head on the tracks. "Not yet but you can practice a bit Four" I roll my eyes. Some join me on walking along the tracks. Tris sits back and relaxes.
Marlene and Uriah push one another and fall at times. Lynn falls over and we all laugh.
"The train is coming!" Will yells. Everyone gets off and they leave me on the tracks. What exactly did he want me to do? Lights illuminate the way making everyone cheer.
I hear the train come closer. The light brightens the darkness. I feel two arms pull me back and the train zooms by. Everyone begins to cheer.
I sit up and note that Tris was the one to pull me back.
"You are an idiot!" She yells. I laugh and she gets up mad.

Tris POV
Last night was extremely crazy. I'm glad nobody noticed I didn't drink. I sit up to find Tobias laying on me. I smile. He hugs onto my legs as if they were a stuffed animal. I might have some explaining to do once he wakes up. I lay back down and look at the lights hanging above the ceiling.
I haven't spoken to my dad or Caleb, or my mom. I messaged her telling her I was hiding. She said nothing and that's what makes me happy...she understands me. I feel Tobias move below me. I look at him.
"Hey there" I say. He looks up and smiles. He lays back lifting his weight off of me. He touches his hand to his forehead.
"My head is killing me" I laugh remembering last night.
"Yeah well if it weren't for me you wouldn't be saying that now" I sit up he does too. I almost forgot more people were around us.
"What are you talking about?" I look at him.
"Well of course you don't remember you were drunk...Zeke dared you to walk on the train tracks when a train was passing...so you did but I moved you away before it passed...in other words you would've been dead"
"So am I supposed to thank you?" I nod
"Pretty much" he smirks.
"Other than that suicide mission...did I do or say anything stupid?" I think back to last night. Once we finished the game I remember Tobias leaning into me and saying...'you look good Tris' it's something I wouldn't want him to know. That would just put me in a odd situation. I mean he was drunk and he had no idea what he was saying...right?
"No...not at all" he nods and looks down. I glance around the room.
"Did you fall?" I look at him.
"What?"
"You have a really bad bruise on your thigh" I almost forgot I was wearing shorts.
"Yeah...last night when I 'saved' you" he laughs.
"I'm sorry, that was my fault" I laugh "you think you'll be able to dance today?" I nod
"Yeah, it's nothing bad really"
"You sure...cause we can always trade for Lauren" I look at him and he starts laughing.
"Thanks that's a great idea" I roll my eyes.
"Are you trying to get smart with me?"
"No" I smile. He stands up and stretches. I decide to do the same "ugh...I need to brush my teeth"
"I think we all do" I look down at Zeke. "I think I'm gonna..."
"Eww!" Christina yells. Everyone gets up immediately...were they even asleep?
Step Up Divergent
After breakfast I decided to head towards Fernando's office. He still hasn't found anything yet but as long as I'm here I'm safe. I walk into the cabin where we slept last night dropping my coat and jacket by the corner. I pull out my phone and search for Latin songs...
The point of this dance is to show we have more culture and that way we can reach to people from all over the world. I think it's a good technique. I admire Zeke at times and the way that he thinks. After we cleaned the floor he headed to bed to rest. I still take him as an amateur.
"Hey" I turn around startled with Tobias.
"Hey, you scared me" I laugh. I look back down at my playlist.
"Did you stretch already?"
"No, I was getting ready to" I say looking up at him. He smiles.
"Have you heard of the painting the floor with your body?" What?
"It sounds like you literally paint the floor with your body...do you need human size buckets of paint?" he laughs.
"It helps you stretch out and relax for a while...know any slow songs?"
"Does the language matter?" He shakes his head. "What about Besame by Camilla?" (Kiss me)
"I like that song...I was actually thinking of doing a choreography for that song"
"I think about it all the time" I say. I hit play and the song begins.
"Alright...lay down on the ground" I sit down and he does too.
"Guys can do that?" He laughs
"Are you being sexist?" He says in a 'offended' tone.
"No, not at all" I laugh. Basically what you do when painting the floor with your body...you want every area of your body to touch the ground...move in a slow way...stretch...it's like ballet. Once the song is done I sit up.
"I think I might use this on a daily basis" he laughs.
"Have you spoken to your mom?"
"I left her a message so she wouldn't worry...buy I haven't seen her lately...have you seen your dad?" He shakes his head.
"I rarely see him but I'm sure he's trying warn me about Jeanine Mathews"
"What is her problem...I mean maybe it is a public disturbance but what if the people liked it?"
"She is the top leader of all hotels...maybe they were having an important meeting at the moment" I nod. We get quiet for a minute. Silence around Tobias never feels awkward but today it does.
"Have you chosen a song yet?" I ask.
"Nope...you?"
"I was thinking something different...something that will get people to like us"
"Like..."
"What if we cancel the Latin dance and perform on the street...like mimes do"
"That's actually not a bad idea...what did you have in mind?"
I think this is short but...hey we got drunk Tobias! :P comment. Vote. Eventually you will be seeing Latin dances and the song for this chapter will be presented too. Love y'all
